an afternoon at the met

My mom has been in New York for nearly four years and although we've had some lovely excursions to the city (here and here), we never took her to the Met. Not sure why. It's not that hard to do. (Props to Erin and Mo who recently braved Times Square with her wheelchair and took her in to see Lion King!)

Continuing with a sort of NYC bucket list for Grammy, yesterday was a good day to go.

We wandered through the galleries upstairs and down, found the Impressionists, her favorites. I began to think about going to France in a week.

Mom wears out quickly these days, and I don't think the art meant as much to her as the outing with Erin ... and me. But just as the visit wrapped up, I insisted we make a dash for the rooftop garden. Such a good idea. It was heavenly.

I didn't get to the Met when I was in NYC for my first time a couple weeks ago. It rained the whole week and places to see that were indoors were PACKED! So I had my own NYC experience and it was lovely, but didn't include any museums.

You are so right Charlotte! The time spent with your mom is precious. I love her little wave at the camera person.......reminds me of something my mom used to do....... have a wonderful trip to France......let us know how you're doing there...... We'll be waiting. xox
